Clouds and cost types
Choose which providers to include, and whether to show billed, amortized, or net cost for each.
The clouds picker
The clouds picker in the toolbar (it reads All clouds by default) lists every provider in your workspace:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Checkbox | Include or exclude the provider |
| Share bar | The provider's share of spend in the selected range |
| Freshness | live, 71h behind, or not connected |
| Amount | The provider's total for the range, in the selected cost type |
Use the All, Hyperscalers, and Data tabs to select a group at once. A provider you haven't connected shows connect, which opens its integration. The footer shows the total and the share of spend in range, such as $8.42M · 100% of spend in range · All clouds.
When a provider is hours behind, its most recent days are incomplete. Compare recent days across providers with care. See Data freshness.
Cost types
The cost type button (it reads Amortized by default) sets how commitment fees and discounts are counted. You set it per provider, because not every provider offers every type.
| Cost type | What it includes | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Billed | Charges as they appear on the invoice. Upfront commitment purchases land on the day they're charged. | Reconciling with the invoice |
| Amortized | Upfront and recurring commitment fees spread across the period they cover. | Showback, trends, and unit cost |
| Net | Amortized cost after negotiated discounts, credits, and refunds. | What you actually pay per unit of use |
Available cost types by provider:
| Provider | Billed | Amortized | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Azure | ✓ | ✓ | |
| GCP | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
When providers use different cost types, widgets and headers show Mixed.
Why amortized is the default
Amortized cost stops unit costs from jumping when a Savings Plan or reservation renews. A one-year upfront purchase shows as 1/365th per day instead of one very large day.
